It’s a shame YT want’s to carry it over here

Cough *VPN USERS DONT CARE BECAUSE IT DOESNT AFFECT THEM* cough

They’re trying to ban and block VPNS from working in the UK cause they knew people would be using them to get around the ban.

Oh. I had no idea. We don't have that problem yet in the states

i don't get it

The uk hates privacy now

i wonder why

That's not very noble of them

What is the name of the law? I looked up “UK passes privacy law.” The website I went on talked about the “UK Data (Use and Access) Act of 2025.” I don’t know if this is the right one, but if it is, it doesn’t seem too bad.

No. I’m talking about their Online Safety Act. Basically it requires you to give the website your government ID or Selfie so you can go on websites Parliament deems unsafe for children. Naturally people were meming about how gooners in the UK would disappear but the law itself appears to lock teens out of SA and Suicide prevention sites, as well as a ton of other websites typically deemed safe to use. Spotify implemented a program to where uses have to scan their face to listen to music labeled as Explicit (no more shit like Eminem) and Youtube + Google want to bring the policy here by letting an AI guess what your age is, ignoring if you have stated it anyone on your page/channel. And if you’re in the wrong age group, then you have to send your government ID, Selfie, or credit card number to youtube/google to get it fixed (this is going to everywhere around the world). It’s f**ked.

Oh shit thats way worse than I thought. I hate ai, and letting it guess your age is stupid.

society is just f**king done atp
